Overview
- Coach Kalen DeBoer said Wednesday that redshirt freshman Jeremiah Beaman sustained a lower-body injury and is "probably" out for the year.
- The loss further thins Alabama’s interior defensive line, with captain Tim Keenan III still unavailable; DeBoer described Keenan’s injury as not long-term and noted progress.
- Beaman, a 6-foot-4 Birmingham native from Parker High, logged 21 snaps in the Florida State game, per Pro Football Focus.
- PFF snap counts showed a youth-heavy rotation against FSU: James Smith (32), Edric Hill (29), London Simmons (22), Isaia Faga (21), and Kelby Collins (3).
- DeBoer said those linemen will absorb more reps immediately as Alabama returns to Bryant-Denny for Louisiana Monroe on Saturday before hosting Wisconsin on Sept. 13.
